Alexis Ludwig is a multidisciplinary artist born in the historic mining town of Silver City, New Mexico. She was first introduced to the arts through family mentors: Great grandmother Mitzi, a master of acrylic landscape painting, and great uncle David, a master ceramicist. Inspired by nature, finding growth, flow, and connection in every project, Alexis was inspired to further her education through advanced design, sculpture, and welding.
Now based in Phoenix, she is the self-taught silversmith behind Cherry Creek Silversmith, a soul-filled handcrafted jewelry store and studio rooted in nature, history, and earth-honoring materials. As the newest instructor at Phoenix Center for the Arts, Alexis leads the “Nature of Metalsmithing” program—a series of entry-level and intermediate silversmithing courses designed to introduce artists to the world of sterling silver jewelry design.
